Application filed November 20, 1888- Serial No. 291,392. (No model.)

To all 21/71/0711, it TIMI/Z] concern:

Be it known that I, MENDEL BAsKAM, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Ornamental l-3ox,ot' which thefollowingis a t'ull,clear, and exact description.

Reference. is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, i

in which similar letters of reference indicate correspoi'lding parts inall the figures.

Figure 1. is a perspective View of my new 1 and improved ornamental box,and Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional ele\"ation of the same.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawingsand then pointed out in the claim.

The bottom act the box isof a single thickness of sheet metal. To theedges of this are secured the front and back panels I) b and end panel,0 c. The said panels are each formed of a tubular rectangular frame, (Id, that istormed of four tubes, each formed with a slot, 9, and mitercdtogether at the ends and soldered. Before the said tubes are all securedtogether at the ends an inner sheet metal plate, 1", is placed in theframe, also an outer plate, g,o'l' glass, and between these is held anornamental card, h; or, in place of this, any form of ornament may beplaced between the plates f y. The panels being thus made, they are allsoldered together and to the edges of the bottom a. The coverj may ormay not be used. It is formed like the panels forming the sides and endsoi. the box, of slotted tubes j, fitted upon the edges of the plate j jand glassj, and between the platej and the sheet of glass J is placedthe ornamental card j, so that the box has an entire outer surface ofglass with ornamentation placed between each plate and an inner plate.In this manner the box may be made very cheaply and the ornamentationfully protected.

As a new and improved article of manufacture, an ornamei ital boxcomposed of un itcd panels l'ormin the side and end walls of the box,each being made of slotted tubes holding an inner plate /Q an outerglass plate, I), and an interposed ornament, h, the panels being"secured to a bottom, u, substantiall as described.
